Autumn Equinox : Sunflower Teachings

Our task is to shine, and merge with the turning leaves, the drying grasses

– the digging squirrels, the beets still growing in our gardens. Merge with the sunsets, arriving sooner every day.

Merge with the darkness, and find the stars, luminous and bursting within you. Merge with the earth changes, the seeming chaos, and know we are standing, moving, dancing, living in these times to bring these hearts of ours into greatest fullness.

Pachamama’s Beautiful Food ~ Cooking with the Elements

Margaret Gilfoyle trained and received initiations from indigenous healers of Peru, Brazil and Ecuador during the last decade - her first introduction to the presence of PACHAMAMA, Mother Earth to the Quechuan speaking people of South America. “Their traditions and beliefs in the Feminine Spirit which lived within the Earth itself rang true and deep within me.”

Pachamama and the Creator offer their gifts freely and abundantly within the intricate, infinitely beautiful web of life. In gratefulness of receiving these, we can learn more fully the joy of giving reciprocally what we have to offer in return. We honor Pachamama as we assist nature and people in respectful, sustainable ways. Cooking with love and the intention of bringing energy of peaceful joy as meals are prepared makes even the simplest cuisine and dishes very special to friends and family sitting down at your table, and assists the Earth's energy to resonate with more love, your love.
